Please remind us all here of what t h at sign is.
Thank you.
It is the sign that directly proceeds Jesus’ description of the tribulation in Matthew 24:
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
There are many preceding signs, but this is the final one Jesus speaks of before declaring that the tribulation begins, and there is special emphasis placed on us needing to be wise enough to recognize this sign, above all the others. And it’s the only sign that he tells us we need to immediately respond to in a drastic way.
